I love the Patek Easter egg, very funny Teddy!😂

Nice to see Certina mentioned. I have a DS diver in my collection and it’s quality for the price point was a nice surprise. The 80hr per reserve, and the micro adjust clasp make this brand a real hidden gem.

I got an Orient Kamasu, red dial, for Christmas. With 200 meters of water resistance, lume that is bright and lasts for several hours, a moderately sized case that fits well under shirt cuffs, and a lug with that allows for different strap/band/bracket combinations, and an affordable price...it's a great option. It's my first "real" automatic dive watch, and I'm quite proud of it.✌🏽👍🏽

Mido deserves more love. I’ve had the Ocean Star featured in this video for 1.5 years and I absolutely love it. I wear it nearly every day. Mido punches above their price point for sure.

What sets you apart Teddy, is that your channel caters to all walks of life, not just the 7+ figure earners. This is why you’ll be the biggest Horological channel in due time. Pun intended.

As soon as I saw your title I was like "The Vostok Amphibia, it has to be here!" and you did not disappoint.

The Mido Ocean Star is an excellent watch, I recently purchased the GMT Ocean Star for just under 1K from my local watch boutique, since then all my other watches have been comfortably placed in the cupboard.

Well done Teddy. You are definitely earning your stripes. Great videos. Great production. Great branding. Great content. I can only imagine how hard it is to do this behind the scenes. I will hit the like button every time.

My favorites are at each end of the spectrum here. Between the Orient and Doxa, the dial finishing and color options are top of class, and just make me smile; not to mention what you get out of each entire package.

Stoked to see the Duro as your first pick. I have all six variations for both the 106 and 107 and they are by far my favourite watches in my collection 👍

At first I thought "Oh, surely Christopher Ward C60 should be on that list" and then realized their MSRP is now $1015. Thankfully they often have discounts.

On the Seiko side of things, I think the King Turtle and King Samurai are the best bang for buck choices, because they have sapphire crystals and ceramic bezels by default. Just get a couple of straps and be happy.

I can't believe my Casio Duro made the cut!

Thanks for all of the great content you provide, maybe a short video about spring bars not all being created equal(seiko diver spring bars come to mind)and aftermarket straps for proper fit. It may keep some folks from losing a watch. Again thanks for all of the information you and your team put out for us.

I bought the Casio Duro, Vostok and the Kamasu, absolutely incredible watches for the money! I use them in a suit while presenting, or in the gym on bracelets and they are just great!

After watching a handful of your videos …… I have finally subscribed. I’ve found my self coming back over and over again looking for help with what watch’s are worth buying.

never heard of a Patek Philippe Kamasu

One other one that I love is the Baltic Aquascaphe. Such a good looking watch with a vintage feel that is very affordable (very much under 1k)

A TOP TIER VIDEO, as always Teddy! Man, I've got such a thing for doxa!! If only they weren't so big!

I really LOVE the Tissot! Own a Seastar Chronograph of almost same dimensions, wanted a 1000 Powermatic 80 but found it too small for my taste. This 2000 very much reminds ne of an Oris Aquis, with that dial touch of Omega Seamaster. Fantastic for this price! Thank you Teddy, great review 👍🏻

I have two from your list, the Casio Duro and the Glycine Combat Sub. Both watches are a great value for the money. The Bulova Devil Diver is very tempting. Terrific list Teddy!

Yes, the dive watch started me on my journey. Great channel Teddy👍

Totally agree with Mido being underrated. Have had a Mido All Dial Chronograph for almost a decade and it still is very striking with exceptional quality of finish.

Once again you've knocked it out of the park Teddy!!

Thanks to your channel I paid homage to my family heritage of Hamilton watchmakers with an American Classic Intra-matic Chrono Blue Dial Men’s Watch. Absolutely love it. I think my dad, grandfather and great grandfather would be proud of the quality of modern Hamilton watches. 3 generations of watchmakers.

Great video again, Teddy! For me, it feels like the Swatch steals the show here with the MIDO and the Tissot Sea Star. I think the Seiko with the pepsi bezel and the Orient Kamatsu deserve honours here too. The MIDO - I love how close to the crystal the dial is as this often results in one of my favourite effects on watches where the hands catch the light at certain angles but the dial doesn't and you get this cool visual effect with hands glistening and almost floating over a darker dial. Question on the MIDO - you didn't discuss it's lume... how good is the brightness and duration of the lume compared to the Tissot and to the likes of Seiko and the Orient? Do Orient watches get luma-brite also?

I can't argue with the options in this review Teddy. It's great to see the Marathon and the Tissot Seastar in this list. My first Swiss made diver was a Tissot Seastar 1000, an old model, it still works great and over the years is reliable and well within tolerances for accuracy. The only gripe with mine is the stamped clasp but having said that it works perfectly fine in life. It still gets wrist time but not as much as it used to. The new 2000 version on this list certainly looks like an improvement in some areas although I slightly prefer the older models port hole aperture for the date.

This title is like catnip to watch enthusiasts 😂 I love it

loving the content!!! inspired me to get into watches.. i never understood the fascination .. its like a flick of a switch

I just got back from Vegas and it's the first time seeing many of the watches I have seen in your channel. It was really cool because I don't have a big selection in my town.

Teddy, loving your videos. You always go into great detail without over doing it. I'm surprised that you gave never mentioned or reviewed any Rotary watches. I know they are a British brand but bang for buck they are priced well. Future video maybe??

Hi Mr. Baldassarre and thanks for showing the Mido Ocean Star Automatic. I've enjoyed these watches for years and have a lot of their collection including their Limited Edition Chronograph. I paid $579 for my Ocean Star that was shown here, several years back. For those who say that watches appreciate only slightly....that's not true for some of the Mido collection.😃

Hello Teddy.. What can I say? Vostok, glad you included them as I have a bright yellow Vostok Kommenderski as a casual wearer, second beater watch. They are rugged, tough watches and the yellow one sure is a conversation starter. Stay safe and take care.

Those are great watches if you are really on a budget or just starting to collect watches. This is great video. Thank you!

This the one ☝🏼 Have to agree with you 100% on the Vostok. The model you reviewed is probably the only one I would consider. Especially with the strap you paired with it! Good taste my man 👌🏼

Another amazing review thanks Teddy.

I have 3 dive watches in my collection currently, but my favorite (that I own...lol) is my Spinnaker SP-5080-02 Hunley. Screw down (large and well knurled) signed crown, 200m water resistance, sapphire crystals front and back, 120 click unidirectional bezel, Seiko NH35 movement, excellent finishing, and it's a lume monster. With an MSRP of $350, it's a great entry level automatic dive watch.

You make consistently good reviews. Thanks

Great list! A lot of good options are missing, but understandable. From Certina I like the Certina DS Action Diver, great size and cheaper than the option offered here. I guess the Super PH500M is the more professional option.

If you like the Duro on the plastic strap, you'll love it on the fitted bracelet found on Ali Express. Add the machined clasp for an extra $5 and you really have something that doesn't look or feel like a $60 watch!

Great video as always, Teddy! I love quirky watches and have the Bulova Devil Diver in green, which I enjoy immensely. I think the retro style and "Devil Diver" quirkiness is fantastic and fun. With that said, given the limitations you described, I do not think it's worth anything near the MSRP - I was lucky enough to get almost 45% off, so feel I actually got an incredible deal on a very cool watch.

Had my seiko padi turtle for almost 5 years and is my daily watch, very reliable and very nice sunburst dial. One of the best value for money seikos pre owned.

I have had a Tissot 1000 for almost 17 years, still works the same as the day I bought it. It takes a beating. I also have an Omega which is way more comfortable but The Tissot is my work watch.

Solid list Teddy!

Overall all are excellent choices Teddy. I'd add Zelos, Helm, Phoibos. Dan Henry 1970 Compressor - and while I know how many feel about Chinese watches but I would check out San Martin and Cronos - the dive rating on the Cronos had also been tested - see video on KZfaq (1000m watch on the hydraulic press channel). Zelos and Helm have waiting lists and like Rolex resell above the sale price. Have the Duro, Vostok Amphibia and the Orient Kamasu. Looking at the Vostok Amfibia Reef (Amfibia with the F).

I really wish it would make sense to order from your store for me, just to show appreciation for this channel. Saddly I am based in europe and it is just much more convenient (and cheaper, especially when it comes to swiss brands) to buy watches here. Thank you so much for all the gread videos over the past years! Might consider your store when going for sth really expensive (if the watch is suuper expensive, i don't care too much about shipping time/cost etc) . Until that day: keep makiing these awesome videos, really easing the pandemic lifestyle at home + I have learned so much from this channel!

Another excellent video, Teddy! I love that Glycine.

I’m strongly considering an Orient Star diver right now. But this video has me second guessing. Great list Teddy!!

I have owned the seiko SRPE99K1 for about ~2 years now and it is a fantastic daily wear watch. It is rugged, comfortable stylish and reliable truly a great watch.

Vostoks are far from my favorite diver, but with the end coming of the original sieko 5 line, they offer an awesome way to experiment and express on the cheap.

I have a Duro on a 22mm oyster bracelet from Strapcode with solid links and straight end links. True, the bracelet was the same price as the watch, but it really elevates the whole thing.

Dive watches are the coolest looking watches period. Great review of good affordable ones. Tissot’s are what I bought. Perfect size for men, at 46mm. They make smaller watches look like cheap toys in comparison. Even far more expensive ones.

The Yema Pearldiver, which has an in-house movement, can be a nice alternative as well, for those who appreciate a neo-retro look and smaller watches (38mm)!

There is something about Hamilton that just works for me. I love that no nonsense approach to their watches and the fact that they are really durable. That Khaki Scuba is really, really good looking.

Excelente video Teddy. 👏👏🤩🤩

Defo check out the Certina DS Action Diver 38mm for those with smaller wrists/wanting a smaller dive watch! Absolutely love mine and is a great under the radar piece.

Your knowledge on watches is top notch 👌

Its not every day you see a Casio Duro and a Mido Ocean Star in the same video. Great video. I like that Squale a lot.

My dady bought one NKUWAN and he loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when he went out with it.

I gotta say, you are the kind of person who success I cheer on. You are a genuine guy and I believe you do your best to be fair and honest. Lol don't let Mr Wonderful corrupt your soul. I always look forward to your top watches in wtv segment you focus on.

You have great taste in Dive Watches Teddy !!!

As a licensed PADI driver, I laugh when you say "only 100 meter" limit. Most divers will never get close to 100 meters. Just chuckle-worthy. 👍🏼

Great video. Teddy you are professional.

That´s an amazing list

I am MADLY in love with my Hammy Khaki! When I dip back below that 1k price point I want another hammy, that Bulova if I can get a great number on it as well but Hammy takes the cake under 1k

I'm a weekly Floridian lobster diver and use the Citizen Pro Master. I can say this thing takes a beating. I stay between 50 - 130ft regularly. The watch keeps impeccable time and the eco-drive system is flawless....no batteries....no winding....it always works.

Love you, thank you Teddy!

Great List --- I own the Glycine and Seiko.

For me Casio Duro and PADI are the best in the list however Hamilton was a little stretch.

I have the Seastar 1000 and I love it!

Great piece here Teddy, it came at the most opportune moment for me. Do you have any idea whether Seiko has a movement planned to replace the 4R35? I just find that their airtime is exhausted on this movement, it would greater value to their offerings.

Squale 1521 is possibly the best case I've ever come across along with sinn the proportions are amazing....

Good morning everyone! What a good start to my extra day off 😁

I'm saving up for the Squale Matic light blue on mesh. Just north of $1000 but oh so pretty.

Thanks for the vid. I have 4 of the before mentioned divers. Seiko, Hamilton, Certina and Tissot. I honestly dont think quartz divers should ever exist. They are fine to look at but in all practicality not the way to go. I also have Tudor, Tag Heuer, Deep Blue and Victotinox and others.

Try a Vostok 710. I have many watches. All kinds of prices. Irrespective of price the 710 is the most beautiful case I've ever worn. Get the bezel swapped by Meranom and they become something completely different, as do they with the addition of a nice strap/sharkmesh etc. This 120 is a great watch. The 18mm lugs, however, hugely limit strap choice. Nice video....agree with all of it.

As always, great presentation, Teddy! Would you consider a similar presentation for dress watches under $1,000?

I would also consider the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf, but this is a great list!

the Seiko samurai is truly a strong value option. i have the one in a pepsi bezel, it looks amazing and wears well for almost any occasion.

Thanks for the detailed review of the dive watches. Wanted your opinion on the Continental Watches. Especially the Continental 20504-GD101430. These are also Swiss made and seems value for money. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

Specs on that Certina are good, but I just like the looks of the PH200 so much more.

I don't dive but I like dive watches because they have a bolder appearance. In practical terms a dive watch usually has a dial and hand combination that is very legible, and the water resistance is comforting to me when I'm working in my yard, washing the car, things like that. Since I don't use a dive bezel I've started looking at aviator watches and even field watches. I have a Kano and I like its styling better than the Kamasu, I think either are excellent for the price. That Casio is very interesting too. In the Seiko line I've owned the iconic SKX models as well as the Sumo, Knight and Monster models. Today I like my Sea Urchin just fine. My other favorites are the Steinhart submariner homages, my Deep Blue with the flat tritium tubes, and several different Luminox models. In your list I like that Doxa 200 and also the Mido. There are lots of interesting things in your Blog- that NTH Odin is really my style. And I have to mention that your photography/video is amazing.

I know you couldn't mention every single watch out there. But the Orient Mako 2 for $135 on Amazon right now really isn't a bad deal. 200m, in house mouvement, great size etc.

a used Oris Aquis or a new Christopher Ward C60 or C65 just can’t be beat.

A watch missing here is a Vostok Europe and specifically a lunokhod 2 model, 1000 feet water resistant, upright tritium tubes so full on lume 24/7, pressure release valve, hand built, surgical grade SS case, beautiful straps and a waterproof feature box. I got a few watches my most recent a Frederique constant 38mm moon phase with diamonds, I like to go against the usual type. The Vostok is a real beast however and deserves some recognition

Nice video😊was expecting the new Hamilton scuba with ceramic bezel in this list.

Man, that Seastar is just gorgeous!

all great choices Teddy

Hey Teddy, take a look to the Certina DS action diver 38. It should be in this list.

My top three of this list are: Mido Ocean Star 200 in blue or the titanium model, Hamilton khaki Navy and the Orient Kamasu.

That Mido is a WINNER!

Great list, although I would have gone with the SRPE35 King Samurai instead of the one chosen. I've always thought about getting a PADI Turtle, but haven't picked one up yet. It's tempting, though I already have a King Turtle. I need a Pepsi style watch at some point. As for Certina, the only authorized U.S. distributor I know of is that little known website that starts with an H. They don't carry all the models, but do carry the PH500M mentioned.

Great choices, esp at the lower end. The Bulova caught my eye - very nice. Unfortunately doesn’t appear to be available on their site anymore.

I’ve recently purchased the sub200 Caribbean Doxa , for just under a thousand pound it’s a stunning watch

thank you for this...looking to replace mid 90's Bulova Marine Star that still works great but is finally showing some cosmetic wear and tear.

Great list video! It’s still the best way to learn a lot of information about many watches very quickly. One note about the marathon 36mm option is if you wear it on a bracelet or a mid to light toned NATO, it does tend to bulk up the profile on the wrist compared to the black rubber strap.

Man…that Tissot looks nice! Thanks Teddy…nice vid.

My favourites here the Orient Kamasu and the Mido Ocean Star 200 in this striking blue (my top diver watch under 1000 dol) with a special mention to Glycine for their price/value

I really like the Citizen but sapphire crystal is a must.
